Creating a Turning Point Account
August 2016
TurningPoint, MSU’s centrally-supported audience response (aka clicker) system, has been upgraded from version
5 to TurningPoint Cloud. TurningPoint Cloud gives instructors the option of allowing students to use a clicker or
a smartphone as their response device. Clickers that students may have previously purchased are compatible with
the new system. However, faculty and students will have to create a Turning Account in order to use TurningPoint
Cloud. Students will also need to purchase a license code for their Turning Account in order for their clicker or
smart phone to properly function. TurningPoint license code can be purchased at the Barnes and Nobles or the
online Student Store. This factsheet will walk through the steps of creating a Turning Point Account.
